I have always liked different kinds of music, with the 70's & 80's being my favorite; until about a couple of weeks ago. I was flipping through the stations trying to find music, not talking, when I came across a christian radio station. I have been listening to it since that day. I love the station!!!! And what a difference it has made in my daily life ... I can tell a difference in my attitude and feelings.

I heard a song that I have feel in love with .... "The same God" by Newsong. The words really hit me this week .... That God is the same God whether we are going through good times or bad times. I have really thought about this and it is TRUE!! Do we always feel this way? I know that I haven't in the past ... well I have never thought about it this way before. But when things are going GREAT we love God!! Worship him!! Praise him!!! Will tell others about him!! BUT when times are hard we seem to want to blame God ... get angry with God ... yell and complain to him. BUT He is still the same GOD!!!

The Same God is with you then is with you now ...The same God that lead in will lead you out ...So take all the fear and doubt .. go on and lay them down ...The same God is with you now ...Oh can't you see everything happens for a reason ...There's a time theres' a place for every season ....He knows what's best for you ...So don't be afraid!!!

These are definitely words that I am going to try to live by. See God in a different way .... He is the same God!! And he Loves us .... He does know what is BEST for us!! Thank you God for never changing and for always being there for me .....

Sorry for the long time in between posts. The time just seems to slip away .. not sure where some days go. I am going to start making more time to post on my site. I have loved posting and have actually missed it. It is like a get away for me .. a place to post what is going on in my crazy life. I am not sure if anyone would believe me if I told all that has been going on lately.

As I am finding out over the past few months ...life happens and how we handle what life throws our way says alot about us as a person as a christian. I have to admit .. I haven't been handling things so well. I have even had my moments of breaking down. I have even gotten to the point of knowing and feeling that I honestly couldn't take one more thing to happen. However through all this mess .. I keep telling my myself that the Lord is in Control!!! That keeps me going ...

I am still on the Metabolism Miracle Plan and still losing weight. I am so proud of myself!!! I still give ALL the credit to the Lord!!! There is no way I could ever do this on my own ... I have lost around 28 pounds and a total of 25 inches (all over). I got to buy me some new jeans!!! I went down 4 sizes - that is what they say - but I went from a 20 Women's Plus size to a 16 WP - I think that is only 2 sizes. Not sure how to count that ... anyway these new jeans are getting bigger on me. I just can't put into words what that feels like. Maybe this time I can go OUT of the plus sizes for GOOD!!!

I got a new workout tape for Christmas. I got the Biggest Loser for the WII. I am loving it!! It has totally been kicking my tail. I give the last 5 inches and 6 pounds to doing this tape. I am doing the total body work out. I do feel better after doing the workout!!!

I promise to be back and I will write some of the things that have been going on around my house ... a little crazy to say the least. I would like to have it written out .. my mom keeps telling me I need to write a book. lol Maybe one day ...
